Abstract
When high hydrostatic pressure was applied to isolated frog heart, following changes were observed on the cardiac action:
1) At relatively low pressure, heart rate increased, but at moderate high pressure, it decreased.
2) There occurred no change of conduction time, namely P-Q interval.
3) Upon appling pressure, the amplitude of action potential of ventricle muscle, i.e. the height of R wave augumented.
